Perspective

Whenever I get sad about weighing 20 pounds less 5 yrs ago: I think about my diet consisting of only water, broccoli, hummus and pita bread; me running up flights of stairs for 8-12 hr shifts, and fainting all over the place like something out of a Jane Austen novel. Live your life ladies, we only have one go at it (that we know for certain)!

and i would understand

"I've loved the stars too fondly to fear the night,"

Try as hard as you may,

Between us

It will never seem right. 

I've been printing pages of circles that were once you and I 

(In my room by this fresh blue moon's light)

Lush green spirals in ivy labyrinths

are between us now,

what lies in the centre was all the hope we wanted. 

Try as we may to call to each other in our secret language,

made for twin spirits

we are lost

in the mists of our unconscious, 

for our speech was too hidden, 

one shrouded pile atop another,

and in our darkness,

neither 

you nor i 

want to be seen. 

she's in me, always with me

 

The theme for me this month is creativity.  

Reconnecting with the person that I dreamed of being as a girl.

Someone might say "the inner goddess"

But I would say just me.

 Without caring constantly about what I perceive people think about me.

I began belly dancing again.

 I used to do this a lot through high school up until a few years ago. 

It's my third week being taught by the beautiful Sabrina Fox.

(look her up if your in SD!)

Tribal Bellydance

This is a form I was never familiar with but am becoming more enchanted by it. 

It so raw, fun and witchy.

Right down my alley. 

It requires a great deal of letting go, and trust in your body, that your body is capable of executing the right moves. 

I find I do better when I just let my body flow and get entranced by the live drumming around me and

my fellow dancing sisters.

I live for my weekends now with my Dancing followed by my voice lessons.

Taught by the amazing Julianna Snapper.

I've come so very far. 

A goal I have for myself would be to have a creative career.

Ultimately a career supported by my creativity/artistry. 

That will take the ultimate self trust, discipline, and flow. 

Baby steps.

Ps. Listen to Lia Ices. 

You only want it cause it's over

Someone's come back into my life again...

Putting it mildly, and it's driving me crazy.

I've worked so hard in breaking down my walls not being so hard hearted and hard on life. And now I feel like life is pop quizzing me. 

All I want to do is be mean and spew out the hurt I feel inside. 

At the same time I want to be at peace and love unconditionally...

Is there a balance between this??

The worst part is not feeling like I can depend on this person. 

So much shattered trust. How do I forgive?? 

My heart is so weighed down tonight. 

It feels like I'm drowning. 

                           

                                 

"All we are saying..."

Forgiveness is in my cards....even if I sometimes don't believe...I've come to realize that it is the ultimate thing that will be the end of me if I don't let go and pardon. It is so so very hard though. It's in my nature to want to control most outcomes since I prefer only the surprises that are happy....but I deserve to be free of these prisons of my own making ...may the universe help my soul to fly!

Through the blog grapevine. I've discovered an amazing artist named Shae Detar. http://www.shaedetar.com/

I would post some of her lovely photos on here but I don't want her to sue me.  There's so much light and color and vision

Left in this world. 

I can forget sometimes being the pissy hermit I am. 

Looking at her portfolio I am inspired to take pictures again. 

Singing, acting, pictures, penguins

I am becoming the girl I dreamt up when I was 16. 

Being an artist has got to be one of the toughest things to be. 

It's true what your professors tell you going in,

"Don't look for approval from others because you will never get it. 

You have to believe in yourself."

Only I just said it way nicer.

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

It's the first time in quite a long time that I have made the effort to explore the things I love. I've been so busy with school and work that I haven't made the effort. Here most of us keep running until our next goal but we never take the time to enjoy the journey.

I am guilty.  

The eastern sun rises through my window reminding me to embrace new adventures. Seek

Try to see all in new light. 

Yesterday 3 friends of mine got engaged and 1 is in a wonderful new relationship. I love them all and it's so amazing to see the happiness in their eyes. 

Superstitious me.

 

I know there are no accidents. I feel the call too. 

To make space. 

To stop the self destruction that masks all my fears. 

To choose to love someone,

The right someone. 

And be loved by the right someone in return.  

Dreaming and the dreamers

It takes such courage to still have faith in fairy tales.
